Don't
Notes: Just a little drabble. Bit angsty in places, but I know you all love a bit of angst. You do. I know you do. Go on, admit it.
You can give the instructions whatever voice you want. Some can apply to the Doctor, but you decide if it's Nine or Ten. Some apply to Rose. Some you could even imagine from Jackie or from your own parents. Use your imaginations…:)
Summary: From the moment we're born, we're told on no uncertain terms what we should and should not do. But what do you do when people tell you different things? And what happens when your head says one thing and your heart says another?

Don't cross the road without looking both ways. Stay safe. You need to know what's coming. Look before you leap.
And don't make such hasty decisions either. Think it over. You've got plenty of time. Why not sleep on it? It'll all be much clearer in the morning. You'll see.
Please don't leave home. Stay here with me. Don't chuck away your future and move in with him. He's not worth it. He's not good enough for you.
Don't fall in love with him Rose. You've got your whole life ahead of you. There are billions of men, better men, men who can give you stability and who'll never let you down. Don't give your heart to the first stranger who grabs your hand and makes you feel special. You don't know him well enough. He's too old for you. He's not even human.
Don't lose sight of what's important.
Don't squander your life taking risks. Don't waste a moment doing nothing. Find a balance.
Don't die. Please don't die.
Don't dream of the future. That way you can't be disappointed. And don't dwell on your screaming past. Block it out. You don't have to listen.
Hey, don't take it to heart.
Make sure you don't do anything I wouldn't do!
Don't listen when someone tells you there's something you shouldn't do. Follow your instinct. Follow your heart. Don't let anyone put you down or boss you around. You can be whoever you want to be.
Don't forget. Don't ever forget.
Don't fall in love with him. Don't tell him if you do. And don't tell her you can never be the man, the lover, the boyfriend, the husband she wants.
Don't interfere! We've told you time and time again. You have to stop meddling. It's not funny anymore. Stop it! Stop it now!
Don't listen to your heart. It'll only break, and then it'll break you. And if you do, if you're stupid enough to rush blindly into any relationship that comes your way, don't think anyone'll come running if you end up alone.
Don't blame me. I couldn't…I wasn't…oh Rose. They're all dead.
Don't change. Change back. Send him back. Please. I can't…I need him…
Don't ignore me! I'm just trying to do what's best for you. I told you didn't I? I was right before, wasn't it? So don't ignore my advice now! I just wanted--OK. Fine.
On your own head be it.
